Description:

Testmate Health is a medtech startup and award-winning spin-off of University of Geneva (Switzerland). We have developed a smartphone compatible platform test kit that diagnoses any disease with an identifiable DNA or RNA sequence - without the need for a lab, providing results directly at home in minutes. Based on this platform, our first solution is the first rapid urine self-test for the four most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD). One million new STDs are diagnosed a day, and yet the best improvements to date still need a lab, with results taking up to 7 days to be ready. Our easy to use all-in-one-kit provides results in minutes, anywhere, at any time, and the result is scannable by a smartphone to enable people to immediately gain access to treatment – if needed. Further test-kits with other diseases are in the pipeline to empower users to skip the waiting room, and take charge of their health from home.
